Loves some football on Saturday! And it is even better when the Dawgs are playing! No, I know how to spell, but here in Georgia we spell it just like we say it! Even though my boys were outscored today (Boo OSU!) We are a young team and will rebuild to our championship form. Anyway...SEC is the only conference in all of college play! So with opening day today, I was inspired to pull out some of my UGA tailgating/football pics to scrap and thought I needed some color-coordinated pages and elements. So I decided to venture out and create my own! Yes, this is my first kit and I am so excited about it! I am offering it as a freebie for a week or so to see if there is interest in and then may open up a store to start selling my products.

Here's a preview of all that is included in my Glory, Glory UGA Kit (5 papers, 10 elements):

So I can't wait to hear all your thoughts about the kit and would absolutely love to see your pages created with any of the items.

Blessings to you all,

Super Sunday!

Okay, so the first week of school is under my belt! My classes are great! Jake and Zach seem to be happy with their classes as well. After trying to get back on schedule with household chores, laundry, shopping, etc. and being back at work,today was an awesome day! Church was great---even with my Sunday School class of 7 boys ages 3-7...yeah! Joe and my dad took the boys fishing on the lake, so I was able to be a bum today! FINALLY! I took a long nap and caught up on some school work. What a difference a nap makes...I believe we could learn for Mexico and implement siestas daily! We would have a much more productive world! LOL!

So, I have been playing with Photoshop again and LOVING it! I have made a blinkie...snag it if you like! I also have a freebie for you! (Do I hear your yippeeesss!?!) Here's a template for you! Please leave me some love if you like!



Here's a page I created using this template. I used the Pocket Full of Sand papers from dizzyscraps.blogspot.com. I had wanted a way to spotlight my Zachie's first memory of the beach. I had several snaps of the day and thought that the wave of photos was a perfect way to highlight the changes. I had such fun creating it!


Click Here to download the template! I would love to see your pages created using my templates. Post or email me any you'd like to share!

One last triumph for the week...at my weekly weigh in, I lost another 3.8 pounds! To date, I have lost 54 lbs. since January. And boy, do I feel like a different person! Weight Watchers has really been a life-saver this time around for me!

Now, I gotta go get rested up for all my lovelies tomorrow! Until we meet again....

Blessings,

Starting a New....And a freebie for you!

Whoa! I just rhymed and did not even plan it! So, I was not on much last week mainly because we started back to school. During preplanning, we teachers really did not get much planning done at all! I know that is not a surprise to those of you out there that teach, but I really wish the higher ups would wise up a little and let us have a day to get our room set up and plan with our other teachers. But not this year...LOL! On top of everything, we are always furloughed for three days this year. Our first furlough day was this past Friday and, in protest, I did not go to the school and chose to mow the lawn and tidy up the yard instead! I hope my dear hubby appreciated my efforts! If nothing else, it really entertained my two boys!

On an another note, my oldest, Jake, will start kindergarten tomorrow! I am so sad! I have held on to my boys being little and not exposed to so much of what goes on in the world! But now I feel like I am losing a little of my grip! But Preacher Tommy's sermon today hit home for me! On going back to school, we as parents should be preparing our children to be equipped to handle the pressures, demons, and dangers of our world. I also loved the reminder that our children should see us praying and practicing what we preach to them. I hope with all my heart that my boys will retain these lessons I have been teaching since birth. If so, my day tomorrow should go pretty smooth.

Now, what you all have been waiting for... A FREEBIE! As you know I have been trying some template making out and enjoyed it so far! I was even thrilled to see that my first templates have already had about 50 downloads after one day on Digifree! Yeah! So here you go....
